*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-* HOW TO BE A WIZOP *-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*=*-*
Duties of the System Operator
-----------------------------
The user-name for the System Operator is: SERVANT OF TSOTL.
As the SERVANT OF TSOTL (which we'll simply call "The WizOp"), you have three
duties:
(1) Validation. When a wizard reaches level 15 and wishes to go higher, he
must have your approval to do so. At this point, you will have to phone
him up to make sure he's not a duplicate player. If everything checks
out, you can use the SANCTIFY spell (command) to let him rise further.
(2) WizOpry. You may occasionally be called upon to settle disputes within
the context of the game, or to calm people down when they FORGET that it
is a game!
(3) Question Screening. High-level wizards are permitted to contribute some
of their own "skill-testing questions", which are then used by the auto-
mated Guardians. From time to time, you may have to use the CORRECT
spell (command) to fix up some of the questions.
Signing On Locally
------------------
When Pyroto is waiting for a caller, press any key. This will "wake up"
Pyroto, and freeze out the modem by putting it "off-hook". You can then
sign on as if you'd dialed up.
If you don't want your phone off the hook, you can start up Pyroto in a non-
modem mode. At the DOS prompt, type:
PYROTO LOCAL
This completely ignores anything to do with the modem.
Signing on as SERVANT OF TSOTL
------------------------------
The information presented below is based on the DEFAULT set-up. The
"Servant's Word" should be modified (see PYCONFIG.DAT) as soon as possible.
1. Wait until Pyroto is waiting for a visitor.
2. Press a key to wake it up.
3. When asked for your "name or nickname", press Space-bar, then Return.
4. When you're asked for the Servant's Word, type PINNSOFT then Return.
5. When you're asked for your private magic word, type .ABIA. then Return.
Function Keys
-------------
The function keys are active whenever somebody is connected. Here's what
they do:
REGULAR FUNCTION KEYS
F01 -- Function-key help.
F02 -- Enable/disable Yoo-Hoo. Makes a noise when specified person shows up.
F03 -- Subtracts 10 minutes online-time from whoever is connected.
F04 -- Adds 10 minutes online-time to whoever is connected.
F05 -- Enable/Disable the chat-with-WizOp (CONTACT) spell.
F06 -- Chat (CONTACT) with the person who is currently online.
F07 -- Not used.
F08 -- Not used.
F09 -- Enable/disable shutdown. Pyroto closes when wizard disconnects.
F10 -- Not used.
ALT FUNCTION KEYS
F07 -- Instant validation. Permits whoever is online to rise past level 15.
F08 -- Instant banishment. Removes whoever is online from valid-caller list.
F09 -- Global prevention of any attempt to earn higher levels via ASCEND,
CLOAK or CHARGE spells. This is used to "freeze" the situation when
you're in a dilemma about how to solve a major game dispute.
F10 -- Instant WizOp key. Don't let visiting people touch this!
WizOp Privileges
----------------
As WizOp, some spells will behave differently for you than they will for
other wizards. You also have a few extra high-level spells. The Pyroto pro-
gram also protects you from suffering over-much from attacks from the wiz-
ards. They are unable to prevent you from carrying on normal operations.
Note that you have no limit on your use of the all-important Manna spell.
You Are Always In Control
-------------------------
Your keyboard is always active. If a user is online, you can type for him.
If your users complain of mysterious transmission noise during the night, put
your cat in another room.
Successful WizOpry
------------------
People get very worked up about Pyroto. In order to keep things running
smoothly, you must be somebody they trust. This is the most important thing
for a Servant of TSOTL to remember. May TSOTL guide you to success.
